Ordered! Now when will I see it?

[wesley888]

YES, got it today! Took me awhile to get used to the re-gen braking. What a fun car to drive! It looks so sexy!

Since the car was sitting in that shopping compound parking lot for almost a week, I had to give it a good cleaning. Then put a Blackvue on it. Will try to drive more tomorrow.

Congratulations!

Awesome! It only took me about 2 days to get use to the "1 pedal" driving and I dread getting into my ICE rental car tomorrow when I land in Tampa.

Seems I'll be seeing mine soon.

Estimate December 23 - January 6.

I'm assuming sooner but we'all see.

Have fun and congrats. Do most new owners set the re-gen to the "low" setting to get used to the one-pedal style of driving?

If you want to get used to it you keep it at normal and drive.

Seeing all of these December deliveries come to fruition has me convinced that Tesla just waits to produce the cars and pumps them out at the end of the quarter. I wonder why they wait though? In any case I'm happy to see everyone slated to get their cars relatively soon.

I was told by my DS and read on other forums that most of November's production was dedicated to cars going to the UK and beyond. Once those orders were complete, the US deliveries were cranked out. They definitely have the process down.

I intentionally leave it at standard re-gen and no creep to get used to it.

OMG! My Tessy just got to NY!! Just got the call I can pick her up on Friday! Unsure how it could have finished production on Saturday 12/3 and ready for delivery 12/8 afternoon if service can have it ready otherwise 12/9 but I'm not complaining!

The word I got was that they are putting the Tesla's on a truck (rather than train) and that speeds up transit time considerably. If it goes via train to Birmingham, AL then that can add a week.

Is there a downside to keeping creep on, regarding regen or efficiency or anything?

Logically it seems having creep on would use more battery since the car is constantly trying to move forward when you are holding it still with the brakes (like at a light or in traffic).

My confirm for the same car was 11/16 and production started today - seems like a long delay between your confirmation and production - that frustrating wait while overseas cars are produced, I guess. Very good to see that transit to the Pacific Northwest is only a couple of days.

When I ordered they said ~6 weeks, so it's within a week of their original estimate, even though it did seem like there was a long gap with no progress. Compared to custom ordering exactly what you want for high demand cars from other luxury manufacturers (BMW/Merc) 6 weeks is blazing fast, so I'm relatively happy.

I have some not awesome feedback on my Delivery "Specialist" but overall not too bad. Ask me Thursday night.

I didn't set mine to low and had no issues adjusting.

Not really. I have creep turned but the use is really limited.

I was actually very surprised at how little the regen slowed the Tesla. I had read a lot about how the Tesla regen was more aggressive than the Leaf, but I didn't really notice a huge difference between my Leaf in high regen mode and the Tesla in high regen on my test drive. I definitely prefer the high regen over coasting though.
